If you truly do not know how to approach things with MIL, I would contact the local Office on Aging for their advice since they must get this question all the time. You may want to see if her resources are limited if there is any chance to get her into subsidized senior apartment housing with perhaps as mentioned an aide coming a couple of times a week to assist her as needed.
  
If you know her assets, could she afford to go into a place offering assisted and nursing care services as a private pay client for a certain length of time and then shift over to Medicaid.  In this area, a friend was honestly told that if one can pay for three years privately or with insurance, then there is no problem adjusting to Medicaid, provided, of course, there are beds available.

You do want to be sure DH does have the Medical Care Directive and the her Health Care Directive has been completed.  A Power of Attorney would also be good to get.  Aging parent even with money are difficult to deal with.[/quote]
